Legalizing at least 5 million lawbreakers, giving them SSNs, which allows them to compete legally with US workers and depress wages, and providing them with other benefits like EITC will cost taxpayers billions of dollars.
This should be a winning issue for Reps who should be discussing substance and not process. The GOP should state publicly that they are the defenders of the Constitution, American workers, and taxpayers. They should paint the Dems as being more concerned about the "rights" of lawbreakers whose actions are destroying the middle class than they are about the American people.
We are watching a kabuki dance orchestrated by Boehner and McConnell. They are going to cave. They devised this strategy in order to pass the budget when they took over. They postponed any confrontation with the WH, just as they have done in the past. It is simply disgusting.
Before the election I was much less cynical and thought surely if we elect these guys they will USE that mandate from the voters and start dismantling Obamaism.
Now the evidence confronting me is that they used my and million of other votes to make nice, important, comfortable places in power without regard to the voters' will.
And yes, it is disgusting, and don't call me Shirley!
When I read things like this, and knowing you’re right, I take a minute to make a donation to people like Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-TX)to make myself feel better. Gohmert challenged Boehner and has suffered for it. I’ll support him even though I’m not in TX. I’ll do something similar as opposition to McConnell expands.
Boehner and McConnell seem terrified at being called racists if they stand up for what is right or do the right thing. All they look for is some sort of contorted consensus which inevitably winds up with our side giving in to the hard left.
What we need is a potential conservative potus,Walker,Cruz some other to come out of the woodwork and put it all together.Our issues need to be explained in talk radio format so everyone is on board. Eventually, we need Rush, Hannity or Levin or one of the talkers interviewing these guys hour after hour telling the truth of where we are as a nation.
Appreciate the info. I can’t put tv and computer together quite yet. Still in the moving in process weeks later.
